Out on the Line Lyrics

This is 544-5179
You got the right number
But you missed me this time
I'm working or playing
Or maybe asleep
So your name and message right after the beep
(The beep the beep the beep the beep)

Hi, my name is Desire
It's short for Desirée
And everybody thinks it suits me
Just fine!
Laying it out on the line
Love on a wire
The tension mounts
It's burning like a fire
Laying it out on the line
A little hot talk
Urban romance
Let your fingers do the walking

This is 544-5179
You got the right number
But you missed me this time
I'm working or playing
Or maybe asleep
So leave your name and message
Right after the beep
(The beep the beep the beep the beep)

Hi, my name is Temptation
That's my real name
And maybe you'll find out why
In Time

Laying it out on the line
Love on a wire
The tension mounts
It's burning like a fire
Laying it out on the line
A little hot talk
Urban romance
Let your fingers do the walking

Hi
Hi!
What's your name?
My name is Action
Well I guess my name must be Reaction
You know like, Action and Reaction
I like it! Do you want to meet me sometime?
How about tonight at dinner. about nine?

Laying it out on the line
Love on a wire
The tension mounts
It's burning like a fire
Laying it out on the line
A little hot talk
Urban romance
Let your fingers do the walking
Laying it out on the line
So many calls
So little time
A kick without the danger
Laying it out on the line
Telephone sex, fantasy games
Played out with a stranger
Laying it out on the line
I talk it like you like it
You talk it like I like it
Laying it out on the line
You talk it like I like it
I talk it like you like it
Laying it out on the line
